Both teams have been dealing with injuries but of the two teams Minnesota and ill afford to be without their best players. Ohio State has problems but fortunately for them, the Gophers are not equipped to exploit their weaknesses. Case in point, Ohio State is a poor rebounding team but that is negated by the fact that the Gophers are a worse rebounding team so the advantage goes to Ohio State. Ohio State has won 14 of the last 19 meetings. The Buckeyes are shooting well from everywhere on the floor and even if Minnesota can slow down the Buckeyes three-point shooting, they have more than enough inside to take of business.

Play on Ohio State. This is a 7* play.
